Posies, Pear and Plate

"Posies, Pear and Plate" 8" x 8" Oil on canvas panel

I was handed a fist full of ranunculi as a gift.  I had seen photos of them before, but never touched them.  They were tiny, tightly whorled and the stems were curly!  I stuffed them into a vase next to a pear, a sushi plate and wasabi bowl and called it a day.

I love small things! When I can, I try to use my trinkets to compose still life compositions. Lord knows, they're easier to store after the painting is finished!

This piece can be seen in my Dailypaintworks gallery if you click here.

Thanks a bunch (of ranunculi) for stopping by.
